1.The Wanderers [1979] starring: Ken Wahl, Karen Allen, John Friedrich, Toni Kalem, Alan Rosenberg directed by: Philip Kaufman January 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.10
In my humble opinion this movie has everything. Superb music, some great comedy moments and a brilliant ending. It is most certainly in my top 3 films of all time. Just sit back and enjoy but don't take it too serious 5 stars!!!

2.The Right Stuff [1984] starring: Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward directed by: Philip Kaufman July 05, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
"There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, 750 miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the Sound Barrier. "Then they built a small plane, the X-1, to try and break the Sound Barrier, and men came to the high desert of California to ride it. They were called test pilots, and no-one knew their names." With its communal desert funerals and men riding out of the night to exchange their horses for jets, The Right Stuff's extraordinary ...

3.The Unbearable Lightness Of Being [1987] starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche, Lena Olin, Derek de Lint, Erland Josephson directed by: Philip Kaufman May 18, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.98
This is a Classic Film make no mistake about it. Yes, it is slow but it is meant to be. Is it a faithful adaptation of the book? I would say yes considering the source material. The book contains whole sections of intellectual pondering regarding the internal struggle involved in passionate love. These passages are unfilmable. What we have here is a very European film dripping with cold sexuality and emotional torture. The Actors, the Director and all involved in this production should feel very proud of what they have achieved. The Direction is confident and fresh. The performances are faultless. Juliette Binoche is truly a remarkable actor. Her desperation is beautifully played. I have to say that this is one of ... Read More:

4.Quills [2001] starring: Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Joaquin Phoenix, Michael Caine, Billie Whitelaw directed by: Philip Kaufman October 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.95
"Quills" tells of the last days of the infamous Marquis de Sade (Geoffrey Rush), who wrote erotic stories that shocked and delighted readers in 18th century France. He is living a rather privileged life as an inmate in an asylum run by a sympathetic cleric (Joaquin Phoenix), where he produces his plays for the nobility. Sade is allowed to write, but not to publish; however, a young laundry maid (Kate Winslet) admires him and smuggles his work out of the asylum. The Emperor, Napoleon, dislikes his books and orders that Sade be stopped once and for all. Sade's paper, ink, and quills are confiscated, and the cruel Dr. Royer-Collard (Michael Caine) is sent to oversee the asylum. The dialogue is literate and elegant and the acting is first-rate. Rush ... Read More:

5.Invasion Of The Body Snatchers [1978] starring: Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, Leonard Nimoy directed by: Philip Kaufman October 09, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.99
Im sure everyones stoned in this, or maybe im just paranoid?. Have another look, not just because its still a solid nervy and edgy 70's paranoia film, but look at Donald Sutherlands face as he smirks alot and tries not to laugh in the first half. Marvel in awe as Leornard Nimoy hams it up with a turtleneck and large powerful demmanding sideburns. Geoff Goldblum's just plain eyeball weird anyway. Watch out for people carrying hairy pods around. You have been warned. Ssshhh....i feel a bit tired and flakey

6.Rising Sun [1993] starring: Sean Connery, Wesley Snipes, Harvey Keitel, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Kevin Anderson directed by: Philip Kaufman October 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.42
Rising Sun is a textbook example of how to take a sure-fire, can't lose property and muck it up completely. It's not just a matter of the producers controversially changing the nationality of the killer that makes Rising Sun such a appointment: where Michael Crichton's novel weaved a multi-stranded web, turning issues into clues and bombarding the reader with information and clues to keep you guessing, director Philip Kaufman simplifies and makes it all patently predictable. Subplots are poorly handled, often either never followed through or simply forgotten, and you don't even care that much about who done it, or why. Of course, there is a difference between what makes a good book and what makes a good film, but before the rot set in Crichton didn't just write novels ... Read More:

8.Henry And June [1990] starring: Fred Ward, Uma Thurman, Maria de Medeiros, Richard E. Grant, Kevin Spacey directed by: Philip Kaufman July 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.22
This is a movie for girls - guys steer clear, unless you want to fast-forward to the lesbian scenes, which are very nice, and which are the only reason to give the film two stars instead of one. Otherwise leave it to the girls!
